All school charges must be paid in full before graduation. Payment plans are available. Refund Policy (effective 9/07/00 California State Formula CAB 140214052):Bureau For Private Postsecondary Education, The state refund policy is as follows: BUYERS RIGHT TO CANCEL The student has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund of charges paid through attendance at the first class session , or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. Cancellation shall occur when you give written notice of cancellation at the institution’s address . You can do this by mail , hand delivery , or telegram . The written notice of cancellation , if sent by mail it is effective when it is deposited in the mail and properly addressed with prepaid postage . The written notice of cancellation need not take any particular form , however expressed; it is effective if it shows that you no longer wish to be bound by the enrollment agreement . Your enrollment agreement will include a cancelation form that can be used as the written notice of cancelation if you decide to cancel. However, you can use any written notice that you may wish . If the school has given you any returnable equipment , including books or other materials, you shall return it to the school within 30 days following the date of your notice of cancellation. If you fail to return this equipment , including books or other materials , in good condition within the 30-day period, the school may deduct its document cost for the equipment from any refund that may be due to you. Once you pay for the equipment , it is yours to keep without further obligation . Beauty supplies and equipment are not returnable items due to sanitary reasons. Therefore, once you have received and accepted any supplies and/or equipment , the cost will be charged to your account . If you cancel the enrollment agreement , the school will refund any money that you paid, less any deduction for equipment received . Withdrawal from course: You have the right to withdraw from a course of instruction at any time .If you withdraw from the course of instruction after the period allowed for the cancellation of the agreement , which is until midnight of the fifth business day following the first class you have attended the school will remit a refund less a registration fee if applicable, not to exceed $75.00 within 45 days following your withdrawal. A refund will be issued if the amount paid is above the amount paid to the school is more than the amount earned by the school. The tuition cost is prorated based on the number of course hours completed. To calculate this you would take the hours of instruction which you have remaining in the course, but for which you have paid. Divide the total course hours by the completed hours. This is your percentage of completion. You take this percentage of completion and multiply it by the total tuition for the course to derive the amount earned by the school. Any amount paid towards the tuition over and above this total is refundable to you (less a $250 withdrawal processing fee). Only tuition is used in this calculation; registration fees, amounts paid for the kit and books, and the STRF fees are not part of the tuition. The amount of tuition will be on the enrollment agreement that is completed and signed when you register for the course. A REFUND WILL BE MADE WITHIN 45-DAYS FROM THE FORMAL WITHDRAWAL Rev: 10/2013 20 DATE. IF THE AMOUNT THAT YOU OWE IS MORE THAN THE AMOUNT THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO ARRANGE TO PAY THE BALANCE DUE. Hypothetical Refund Example In accordance to the state pro-rata policy: Assume that a student, upon enrollment in a 1,600 hour course, pays in full, $3682.00 for tuition, $75.00 for registration and $147.00 for equipment and uniform, as specified in the enrollment agreement and withdraws after completing 600 hours without returning (due to sanitary reasons) the equipment he/she obtained. The pro-rata refund to the student would be $2397.25 based on the calculation stated below. If the student returns the equipment (If it was returnable) in good condition with 30 days following his/her withdrawal date, the school would refund the charge for the equipment returned and paid by the student. In determining the amount, that the student owes for the period of time attended, the time elapsed includes the hours of training offered to the student but not attended by the student, from the first date of classes to the last date of recorded attendance. The student shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the course when any of the following occurs: A Date when you notify the financial aid office of your intent to withdrawal; B Date when the school terminates your enrollment; C Date when you failed to attend classes for a three-week period; D Date when you failed to return as scheduled from an approved leave of absence If any portion of your cost of attendance was covered by the proceeds of a loan, then the refund will be sent to the lender. The remaining amount of the refund will first be made to the financial aid programs from which benefits were received, in accordance to the order of priority provided in federal regulations. If a course is canceled or the school closes, subsequent to a student’s enrollment, and before instruction in the course has begun, the school shall at its option: (1) provide a full refund of all money paid, (2) Provide for completion of the course at a nearby school. B.P.P..E. Formula: Delta Beauty College calculates refunds based on the BPPE formula for tuition not derived from Title IV Federal financial aid. This calculation is based on a pro-rata portion of the completed course hours. For example, if 400 of 1600 hours are completed then the student is entitled to 25% of the Tuition paid up to that point. There is no refund for the Kit, books or registration fees. Title IV Formula: Tuition received from the Federal Title IV Funds follow the refund policy outlined by that agency. The refund calculation is as follows: Percentage of course completion Percent of tuition earned by school 0.01% to 04.9% 20% 5% to 09.9% 30% 10% to 14.9% 40% 15% to 24.9% 45% 25% to 49.9% 70% 50% and over 100% Currently Delta Beauty College does not participate in this program and the pro-rata calculation for refunds Rev: 10/2013 21 supersedes the one above set forth by the Department of Education. We will be using the pro-rata calculation for our contracts.
